Position

Dunca is a center i dont care what people say, he takes the jump ball is 7 ft tall and guard the other teams center, thats enough for me

duncan has been playing center since Nesterovic left. How can people say he is a forward and Bonner is the center?

Tim Duncan does not want to be called a center because the center is often the least skilled position on the court
he takes it as an insult

if josh howard guards the shooting guard, he is “playing” the SG position

if u had 5 shaqs one of them would had to bring the ball up the court (PG)
one of them would have to guard Kobe (SG)
one of them would have to guard Lebron (SF)
one would have to guard Dirk (PF)
and another one would have to guard Bynum (C)

on offense there would be no floor spacing whatsoever
so when coach Carlisle is putting Josh Howard at the SG he is
saying it doesn’t matter how many times we get burned on D because
we’re going to get SOME stops and then on OFFENSE were going to be better

so the plus outweighs the minuses of Josh Howard guarding other SGs

an all Shaq lineup probably would never work (get back on defense!)
lol just trying to make a point

No he is classified as a Pf because popovich wants him to go down as the greatest Pf of all time, and also so he can making the starting line up for the all star game, do u think he would have ever beat out yao ming and shaq? and lol to the center being the least skilled position, that would suck being compared to kareem, wilt, robinson, shaq, olajuwon etc, they were not skilled at all

“that would suck being compared to kareem, wilt, robinson, shaq, olajuwon etc”

Wouldn’t it suck being compared to Jordan? ask Grant Hill and Harold Miner

center is OFTEN the least skilled position
See that’s the problem everytime someone says Center or 7 footer
the comparisons to Shaq, Kareem, and Wilt come up.

Do u think Tim Duncan wanted to come into the league and be compared to Kareem Abdul-Jabaar?
How about Darko Milicic

“With the center or 7footer tag then the FANS want to claim OVERSIZED expectations” – HOF coach Dean Smith

this is WHY Dean Smith always listed his 7footers as 6’11 in college so that they wouldn;t
feel the PRESSURE of being OBLIGATED to become the next Kareem Abdul Jabaar

U saw what it did to Greg Oden
he himself said he was tabbed to be “the next great bug man”
then by the end of an injury filled season he was content with coming off the bench and he still is as I’m hearing

Everybody wants to make THEIR OWN NAME

and yes Popovich does want him to go down as the greatest PF ever

because who can argue that

Tim Duncan the center vs Wilt Chamberlain the center? that’s VERY arguable

and Tim Duncan is 6’11 without shoes according to draftexpress

when i judge a players position, i judge how they play the game and where would they play on most teams. To me duncan is a center because he plays like a center and would be a center on most teams. Al jefferson is a pf because he plays like a pf and would play pf on most teams. If dallas uses Howard at sg, then that just means they are using a big line up with an extra sf because howard plays like a sf and would play sf on most teams.

I think when it comes to kevin garnett playing small forward, he really did play all positions and guard almost every position so i dont really care where people rank him as a position. He just went out and played basketball, and when you look at his teams garnett could have started anywhere on his team because he never ever played with someone before that was as good to him or even nearly as good as him, when he went to boston he had pierce at the 3 so he played the 4 because it gave the team the best chance to win, this was the first time he had a serviceable starter at a position. When i talk about Duncan and KG in the future i will talk about how i was able to watch 2 of the best BIG MEN of all all time. i wont say best pf or sf, because when you talk about the best players to lace up the shoes not many of them had a true position. We call lebron a sf but is he really at 6’9 260 pounds? They are all basketball players “positions” just help ppl make fantasy teams and try and group players together

i pretty much think hes a pf who also plays center..hes good at both and also it depends who hes playing with like someone sasi..although hes not a 7footer(6’11) he is close not that it really matters
